Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment — Vii /-Variant AU, AUV, 1K, 1KM
Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment
Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment for the Volkswagen Golf (Vii) /-Variant AU, AUV, 1K, 1KM (2013–2019): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–9J | ET32–ET52 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 944,531 Volkswagen Golf on UK roads, placing it in the top 1% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
With that many on the road, Volkswagen Golf wheel fitment is a spec fitters see constantly. We keep it current for that reason.

Overview
The Volkswagen Golf (Vii) is a compact car/small family car produced by Volkswagen since its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012. It uses the new MQB platform, shared with other models like the Audi A3, SEAT Leon, and Škoda Octavia. The seventh generation of Golf was slightly larger than its predecessor but managed to be around 100 kg lighter depending on engine choice. This generation marked a significant shift in design philosophy towards aerodynamics and efficiency while maintaining Volkswagen's reputation for reliability and performance.
